Reform Scotland is a public policy institute or 'think tank' which was established as a separate Scottish charity, completely independent of any political party or any other organisation and funded by donations from individuals, charitable trusts and corporate organisations. It has an Advisory Board to agree its strategic goals and philosophical approach and a separate Board of Management (Trustees) to oversee its day-to-day running.
